How much do you think we would have to pay him to keep him? My guess is it's more than what we pay our football coach.

Just how many are we talking? SURELY there is a place SOMEWHERE on campus that could host that many people. Been this way for 50+ years.

I have been saying for the last two years we should do this, but people tell me I am crazy and then ask me if we want to become UTA. I'd be fine like Gonzaga and only have basketball.

going on 50+ years.

Wait, women's could not host either? WOW. Great way to get coaches to stay.

Yup, it does. I should have said Power 5 conference teams.

doubtful. I don't think UNT has ever sold any major athletic event out. I am blown away at how loud the Super Pit gets at times with half full. I would love to see that place sold out, but doubt I ever see it.

Ah good point. You are right. I just don't understand why this is happening again - I am fairly sure this has happened one of the previous years we were in the NIT. Is there not a nice place at the top of the football press area that could host it? How is it that those of who don't work in Athletics can figure out a solution but no one at the University can again?

You certainly don't see this at big time schools or schools that are serious about athletics. We just pretend. Such a UNT thing.

We might be the only D1 school who has to rent their own basketball arena.

Don't we have an indoor football facility we could host it at? Or maybe another building on campus like the Union or countless other places?

Bingo. But will never happen here as I have been told over and over that football is our bread and butter.

We clearly are trying to sell the cursive North Texas merchandise. surely we will win this game?

Stepped away shortly, how did Temple get the ball deep in our territory?

I dislike the North Texas in cursive on the helmet and the basketball uniforms.

I dislike the script. I also dislike it on our basketball uniforms.

So according to his postgame, he says the interim DC did a phenomenal job coaching today. I don't consider giving up 40 points phenomenal. When asked what has gone wrong in the last 5 losses, he says "too much to discuss." He does not not have it.

Since it doesn't seem to matter who we hire to coach football, why can't we get creative and sign a coach to a 3 year deal? Offer major incentives. Don't say we can't do this because we wouldn't be able to get anyone to hire...someone would take the job.

I think this team is done. I don't think we win at Temple. Would have never guessed at 5-1, we could finish 5-7. Did Eric do an after game interview? I listened to post game show, but must have missed him?

We can just do this over and over since we have for the last 5 decades. We can't get rid of football and just pour all the money into being a great basketball school because we will just cease to not have anything like UTA, so I have been told. So we will just keep doing what we have done and expect different results.

My theory has always been that AD hired Morris for head coach week after Leach passed knowing it would give us a lot of PR. Hire should have never been done. We have just moved to another version of a bad head coach.

So when I saw the score of 21-0 I thought, this is the day EM lead team finally gets over the hump of beating a team over .500. Nope.

It is missing SOLID, go getter LEADERSHIP from the top down.

Glad we moved on to a new coaching staff. They have definitely given us better seasons on win totals and better bowl games. Nice work coaches.

Thankfully we have a basketball program that is MUCH, much better across the board. Hopefully we keep pouring lots of money into the football program to get the same results year after year.
